"This is the mall, Kagome. Oh yeah," Kikyo said, to Sesshomaru, later on. It had been almost nine hours since Kagome had been introduced and now she'd made fast friends with all of them. After school Kagome had went home and dressed into a nice pair of jeans and a plain tee shirt. Sesshomaru nodded and Kikyo found herself blushing.
"Just be carefull, okay?" Sesshomaru said, his eyes boring into hers. "If anything happens..." He didn't even have to finish; it had pissed him off to see Naraku trying to voilate his good friend like that. Kikyo hadn't wanted it at all; and yet Naraku had almost...Sesshomaru shuddered at the memory of that day...
He could hear screams. Dammit; this place was confusing. Perhance it was a little embarassing getting lost in his own school. Escpecailly when your date to the dance had dissapeared. Sesshomaru had asked Kikyo to go with him as friends, and she'd accpeted. Inuyasha hadn't been all that content at first; but he'd agreed after a while. But now she and Naraku were missing.
"Inuyasha! Her scent is over here with Nar..." Sesshomaru stopped, his heart suddenly stopping in his chest. Was Naraku trying to...no...the bastard couldn't...yet thier scents were over here and over here alone; right outside this door. Inuyasha came up behind him as voices emitted from the room...
"Stupid wench; cooperate!"
"Heeeeelp! Sesshomaru! Inuyasha! Sesshomaru! SOMEBOD-!"
A defaint whack was heard; Naraku must've slapped her. Overcome in rage Sesshomaru and Inuyasha had busted down the door and greeted by a sight they never wanted to see again. Kikyo's hands were tired to a table leg with scotch tape and a bloody bruise on her forehead, and a new bruise on her cheek. Her new expensive dress was ripped beyond repair and her bra could be seen. At her naval area; her underpants were almost off. Naraku himself was almost completely nude.
Sesshomaru felt unexplainable anger and tremendous rage well up inside of him; he grabbed Naraku by the back of his neck and threw him over to the wall; leaving Inuyasha to get care of him and turned to Kikyo. He took off his jacket and threw it around her; using it to cover her up. Kikyo fell agaisnt his shoulder and began to cry.
"Shhhh." Sesshomaru hissed softly and almost comfortingly. "Its okay, Kikyo. I'm here...we're here now..." Kikyo's beautifull bronze eyes shone with unshed tears and Sesshomaru felt the anger well up in his gut again. How dare Naraku try and rape one of Sesshomaru Inutaisho's friends. Ooooh, that bastard was going to pay.
"Sesshoma---!" Ayame said, racing up the steps and pausing in the doorway at the scene. Inuyasha's fist fight with Naraku; and Sesshomaru comforting Kikyo was something new to her. "Whats going on?"
"Ayame, can you find something for Kikyo to wear?" Sesshomaru asked, his gaze never moving from Kikyo's face. "And alert the teachers..." Ayame nodded as Sesshomaru helped Kikyo up "...he might still be alive when they get here..." Ayame sweat-dropped as she helped Kikyo.
Sesshomaru shook himself out of the memories; things he wanted to forget so badly. "See you Kikyo." Sesshomaru said, managing one of his rare smiles at her. Kikyo smiled shyly back and Sesshomaru; plans made allready, waved as he drove off. He would make sure nothing would harm Kikyo again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Wow." Kagome gasped, looking around at the extravaganzent mall. Many floors of different shops and arcades, CD stores, clothing stores; everything you could ever imagine. Kagome wasn't used to the bright colors and different lights. There were water fountains all over the place.
"Okay Kagome," Sango smiled, her eyes lightening up. "Where do you wanna go first?" Kagome shrugged, still comprhending the size of the mall. And right in the middle of her thoughts, she remembered the Hikaku. "Kagome?"
"Ummmm...I need some new posters; I need to redo my room," Kagome said ", since I hate my other belongings..." She broke off as she remembered destroying all of her makeup, her old clothes going to good-will and her old posters with them. And she shook her head; snapping out of her memories. 'I will forget Hyoko,' She scolded herself angirly.
"Okay; I've an idea." Kikyo said, smiling that smile that never reached her eyes. She turned to Rin. "Since you're the fashion freak, no offense," She added as Rin nodded ", you can help Kagome on chosing her clothes." She then looked at Ayame "Ayame, you know all the decent bands, help Kagome at the CD store." Ayame nodded, it was true. Kikyo grinned at Sango. "Sango, we all know you treasure two things; movies and sports. Can you help Kagome catch up on some movies?" Sango nodded. "And I," Kikyo began ", will help you with books."
"Thank you..." Kagome said, her voice husky. She'd never had this good of friends; never. They were helping her adjust to her new life in Tokoyo and trying to help her in school. This was just too good to be true; Kagome imagined the look on Jennita's face now and almost giggled.
"Lets no get emotional," Ayame teased, jauntily slinging her arm around Kagome.
"Yes, after all,"Sango added ", its what friends are for." She'd said friends...did that mean...her, Kagome Higarashi; the little nobody with no friends and no life...now in Tokoyo, only a few miles from Hyoko, had a group of good friends. "That is if you'll have us." Sango added.
"If I'll have you? Girl, where I come from, an offer for friendship is worth a ship of gold," Kagome said happily. An actaul smile on her face. The other four girls perked up immeadiently. "That means hell yeah I'll be your friend!"
"Well, what else?" Rin chirped, as she redid her bright pink purses strap. "If you need to redo your room, lets go to the miscellanious stores first; ya know," Rin added ", to get posters and such. A decent lamp and desk supplies." Rin then cocked her head ", how much do you have?"
"My mom gave me $500 and I have $500, so I've a thousand dollars with me," Kagome smiled ", that should be enough." Sango, Kikyo, Rin, and Ayame grinned and nodded. Kagome had the oddest feeling that she'd have onluy about$50 left before the day was done. So maybe she'd have a nice shopping day...hopefully, maybe...
It was a nice day. They went to 'Ottos' first, where Kagome got a lava lamp, an organizer, an Ipod, a new laptop, and many posters. One of Orlando Bloom as Will Turner in Pirates of the Carribean, one of him as Legolas in Lord of the Rings. She got posters of her favorite bands, which ironically, her friends also loved. A few of the bands were; Avril Lavinge, Cascada, and Kelly Clarkson. She also got a couple posters of her favorite actors, movies, and video games.
Then they went to a clothing store called Levi's; where Kagome tried on many things that suited and didn't suit her. Sango, a tomboy wore jeans and a tee-shirt all the time. Rin, petty and pretty, wore bright colors that matched her attitude. Ayame, goth girl, wore black, dark blue, dark green, and purple alot. And Kikyo, elegant and cool, wore black skirts and white shirts. But Kagome was different. After trying on many things, Rin stopped her finally.
"Those, you look good in those," Rin grinned, Kagome glanced in the mirror. She wore a pair of blue kapri's and a blue shirt with a brown jacket that cut off at her elbows and didn't even reach her waist. And a pair of combat boots that made it 1/4 of the way to her knees. So they ended up getting a pair of black, blue, green, red, brown, and camo-green kapri's, three pairs of jeans, three blue green knee length skirts and an assortment of shirts.
They went to a CD store named the oddest thing. Blue Beatle. Ooookay, well, whatever. Kagome got her favorite Bands Albums there; as well as a couple new favorites. 3Doors Down, DJ Cookie, BOA, Linkin Park, and Groove Coverage were her new favorites. While there, they went to the movie section and Kagome ended up getting; Saharah, all three Jurassic Parks, two of the Pirates of the Carribean movies, four of the Harry Potter movies, the three Lord of the Rings movies, and Kingdom of Heaven.
Then they went to Quincies. This was a bookstore, and Kagome loved it after being in there for five minutes. Rows and rows of books, and after purchasing at least 200 dollars in books, Kagome, Kikyo, Sango, Rin and Ayame went to the ice cream palor to cool off. Sango had got a new purple sash for her dance outfit; Ayame a new pair of shoes, Rin a new expensive hair clip, and Kikyo a new book.
"I'm so glad we don't have to carry everything," Rin yawned, looking around the mall. And went on, as she ate her vanilla sundae ", we just have to go up front and they will carry everything to the car! For free!" The other girls nodded in agreement; it was nice not having to carry everything around.
"Hey, who's that?" Kagome asked; pointing out a guy hidden in the shadow who was staring at Kikyo. Kikyo instantly went rigid in fear, Ayame snaked her cell phone out her purse.
"Pretend you don't see him," Sango hissed, Kikyo nodded as pieces of the memory of the acciendent flew into her mind. "Ayames going to call Sesshomaru, Inuyasha; who ever picks up the other end, okay?" Kikyo nodded again.
"Whats going on here? He's going to know you see him if your all tense," Kagome told them, she'd learned that a long time ago. Even though she was confused, five girls vs one guy; whats to get all worked up about? It didn't make any sense to her. "Whats going on, you guys look mortified."
"Well," Sango said, looking at Kikyo; seeing if Kikyo would approve. Kikyo gingerly nodded her head. "Last year, at the dance. Naraku...him," She slightly moved her head towards the guy in the shadows ", tried to rape Kikyo." Kagome gasped, but he'd tried...so he hadn't suceeded? "Sesshomaru appeared and threw Naraku off her and Inuyasha fought Naraku while Sesshomaru gave Kikyo his coat so she wouldn't be walking around in a bra and almost destroyed underwear." Sango's eyes narrowed. "The worm somehow weasled out of trouble. But none of the students trust him." Kagome felt a chill at her words...she had a feeling Naraku would do something if one of the guys didn't come here soon...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Aww, dammit, Inuyasha." Shippo whined, after Inuyasha beat him yet again on the virtual reality set of Tales of Symphonia. "You always win!" Shippo huffed angirly as Sesshomaru, Koga, and Miroku fought down a good laugh; Inuyasha was undefeated on Tales of Symphonia; just as Sesshomaru was undefeated on Dragon Quest.
Suddenly, Miroku noticed his cell phone ringing. He held a finger to quiet his friends and opened up the phone. "Miroku Houshi here." He was execpting Kakage, Hirako, or Sendeoi; they were his...well, not girlfriends, ummmm, not sex slaves...even though he could if he wanted...he couldn't get further than a kiss before---
"Oh! Miroku! Its me, Ayame!" Ayame's voice held panic and desperation in it, Inuyasha; Sesshomaru, Shippo and Koga looked at Miroku's furrowed brow. Heads kinda cocked in curiousity; who was calling and why? Was it one of his 'cousins' he said thier names were Barbra, who preferred babe. Chickeeta, who prefered chick. And Hotai, who prefered hottie. That made them wonder but they never asked.
"Whatssup?" Miroku asked curiously, Ayame never called him; she always called Koga and her other friends. But something was wrong. Koga recognized Ayame's voice and nodded to the others; 'its not one of his cousins; relax.' More than once Miroku had left to go pick up his cousins at some dinner party; the beach; some wild amusement park; a friends house and on and on and on...
"Naraku...oh gods, he's coming," Ayame started to panic ", gotta go!" And abruptly she hung up. Miroku was siezed by sudden panic; not Naraku again. What if he got near Sango, Ayame, or Rin? He couldn't bear to see some drama like the one last year unfold again. Wait; what if Naraku went to Kikyo...?
"Who and what the hell was that?" Koga asked lazily; looking at his friend as Miroku put up his cell phone. Miroku had broken into a cold sweat; he too, knew what 'Naraku' meant. He knew that the vile bastard had attempted to rape Kikyo. He also knew that Kagome looked like Kikyo...if that bastard raped the new girl; the teachers wouldn't believe her, but the students would...but the loss of her first organism to that bastard...
"Naraku." Miroku told them. And in an instant; Sesshomaru strolling towards the limo followed by Inuyasha. With Koga, Miroku, and Shippo close behind. Forgetting to pay thier bill; even though no one stopped him. Not even the cashier; later on, Shippo Kitsune would return...on a late fee of $50.00...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hello, girls," Naraku seethed, his eyes on Kagome and Kikyo. "Would one of you care to join me for a stroll?" If one had not known the disturbing events of what he'd done before; they would've been fooled into a pleasurable stroll around the mall. Probably to a deserted store for a not-so-enjoyable time.
"No thank you," Kikyo said cooly, her trembling voice protraying her true emotion. Kagome felt a shudder of disguist sweep through her as Naraku eyed Kikyo's chest and 'area'. Perverted bastard was worse than Miroku; and that was saying something. Naraku's licked his lips as he turned to survey Kagome. Kagome fell back a bit in horrorfied surprise; perverted bastard.
"Too bad," Naraku grinned, coming forward towards Kikyo. Sango prepared her fist as Rin raised her metal embedded purse, Ayame took off one of her high heels and Kagome pulled out her book. They were prepared to whack him when he said. "Such impudence. Kagura, Kanna, Gukiaru, Shishimi; get care of them." Several different people appepared from the shadows. A woman with black ponytail and red eyes, a white haired black eyed emoitionless girl, a boy with an abnormally large nose, and another boy with a serious hygiene issue. Naraku went up to Kikyo when Kagome stood in front of him, blocking Kikyo from his sight. "Stupid wench!" He raised his hand to slap her.
When a different hand pulled the angry spider hanyou away from Kagome and a figures stepped infront of the girls. "How dare you!" Inuyasha snarled at the the outraged hanyou. "Attack a woman! Dispicable! Irregisical!" Inuyasha was spitting with fury; it was pretty scary.
"I don't think that irregisical is a word," Sesshomaru said boredly, as his half brother; in all his raged spitting glory, lept at Naraku. Sesshomaru grabbed him by his collar and pulled him back. Inuyasha was breathing heavily with an angry misdemeanor and his fists clenched so hard he was cutting himself. Sesshomaru allowed his mask to soften for a second. "Inuyasha, we can't fight them here. Besides, no one besides the student body belived us."
"Oh, the stupid half-breed," Shishimi smirked, his large nose crinkling from all the extra face added onto it ", and his stupid human friends. Tch, tch," the coyote youkai turned away from them ", Kiba High is going to the dogs. Don't you see? Humans and half breeds. What miserable spectors." Shishimi turned to Sesshomaru, Koga, and Shippo; smirking. "So you pure-bloods; how long will it be before I decide to let my friends and I destroy the half-breed and humans?"
That crossed the line. You never, ever, ever, EVER; threat an inu-youkai; or thier friends. Sesshomaru tossed all decency aside; eyes gleaming red, lept at Shishimi. Koga grabbed his friend by the elbows as Miroku restrained Inuyasha. Shishimi, Kagura, Gukiaru, and Naraku laughed openly at the inu brothers anger.
"Get...ahold...of...yourself..." Koga grunted, having a harder time restraining Sesshomaru; the silver haired youkai wasn't going to be calmed that easily "...Sesshomaru! You...can't kill him...here...or...now! You have...ugh...to wait...argh!" Sesshomaru had almost broken out of his grasp.
"Well, we'll be going now," Naraku grinned; he turned to Kikyo and Kagome; his eyes filled with lust ", I'll see you two ladies later..." He wiggled his eyebrows "...in my bed..." And with that, the pervert and friends marched away, leaving two very angry brothers being resrained by two red faced guys and five very shocked girls. Once the five miscreets were out of sight; Miroku released Inuyasha and Koga released Sesshomaru.
"T-that...perverted...bastard..." Inuyasha growled, his rage almost met by Sesshmaru's. "He doesn't...even know Kagome yet...and he's trying to bed her..." Inuyasha's eyes were narrowed to slits; the only one who outglared him right now was Sesshomaru. "He's worse than you, Miroku." Inuyasha hissed; voice laced with venom. Miroku laughed nervously, not knowing wether to consider that a compliment or not.
Sesshomaru couldn't say anything; he was positvily spitting with rage; Inuyasha had never seen him this angry; then again, Inuyasha wasn't paying any attention to his older brother. "Now now," Shippo said, coming infront of the two brothers ", they're gone. C-A-L-M-D-O-W-N. Aka, CALM DOWN!" Shippo yelled, making both of the brothers flip out of thier anger.
"Wha? What going on?" Inuyasha asked; looking around wildly. "Did I transform?" He was confused; everybody had to fight down a couple good laughs just from Inuyasha's expression. He didn't remember Naraku leaving; both he and Sesshomaru had probably been fantacising of ripping off Naraku's head...
"Naraku left, baka." Sesshomaru stated, he at least, was able to figure it out. "If you would've transformed, I really well doubt any of the humans or youkai would be near you now." Inuyasha and his brother fought to regain thier breath and composure; Sesshomaru too, had nearly lept at Shishimi's throat, so yes, the youkai had to regain some lost stature.
They chatted for a while; Inuyasha offering the limo for a ride home, everyone but Koga and Ayameaccepted. The two ookami youkai had a date tonight; to the movies to watch Kindoku Hyoti's new hit; All for You.

A/N: I'm gonna skip ahead a month or two; okay? Reviews are nice to get...
Next Chapter: Nightmares of the Unrelated Twins; Rape and Life.
Kagome looked at her best friend Yumi. The girl had her blond hair in a bun and blue eyes sparkled like the water and sun. Her and Yumi had been friends ever since she could remember...practically since she was four and her daddy had...well...mommy had said daddy went away and...was never coming back. But mommy had also said they'd see him again; leaving young Kagome confused, how can you never come back yet see someone again? It didn't make any sense to her...
"Is Jennita coming?" She asked Yumi curiously as the two of them sat at the park together. Yumi just shrugged, then was standing up suddenly. Young Yumi turned older, and Jennita joined her.
"You're ugly, Kagome, try hiding that horror of a face!" Jennita jeered. Kagome felt it, the betrayal; how could her best friend do this to her? All for popularity? No, Jennita would never do that! But as fifth, sixth, and seventh grade flew by; Kagome grew less sure. Untill in eight, she accepted the creul truth; Yumi and Jennita had ditched her for popularity.
